Good show, I remember seeing bits of this as a kid when it first aired.

The premise in captivating and the abandoned world that the characters find themselves in is enthralling.

Although the journey they take seems somewhat convenient in terms of their navigation and accuracy, we have to remember that it is a TV show after all. This show does a good job at hiding some of the things which we would normally wonder about in such a situation, such as food availability etc.

The last episode was full of so much too, it seemed like everything escalated so suddenly! Although I wish some questions were answered with regards to the Children of Ark, and why it was implied they couldn't have children of their own. I wish we had more time to learn about their story and survival.

Then turning from enemies into the hope of humanity in the last 15 mins could have been done better. And what was the point of Jonathan? He just seemed to be the magnetic north to which the compass was set. Maybe I've answered my own question...

All in all, I watched this 24 years after it first aired, it was at the back of my mind this whole time and I'm happy I finally saw it as an adult.

Good piece of TV!
